I didn’t mean to kill her. But I did. As the knife only went deeper, it was now my tears that fell. She laid there, unconscious. The tears still rolling down her face. How did I let myself do this? Why. Agony, sadness, anger. Now I wasn’t sad but mad. Mad at myself for doing this, for letting me get here. But the grief soon took over again. The heartache, the misery the… the… pain. I screamed. And screamed. As her body sat still and me in the middle of the woods screaming. Crying and screaming, I let it take over. I pulled the knife out of her and into me. Now we can be together. Forever.
